1. First time I'm hearing the name

The winner is probably as bad or worse. Who won the democratic house primary?

4. No Dem primary was held because no Dems filed for the seat.

3. The chamber dollars went to Marshall

6. The article wasn't clear on that, but I'll take your word.

Looks like Huelskamp had the backing of the usual suspects. Is the other guy better, I hope?

7. From the article

"In a statement, Rob Engstrom, the chamber’s national political director, called Marshall’s victory “decisive.”

“Governing was on the ballot,” he said in a statement Tuesday, “and voters spoke clearly.”

About the other guy...Huelskamp's ads featured the audio from a 911 call, in which Marshall's neighbor accused him of attacking him with his truck.

9. oops, missed that.. getting old

the new guy sounds like an improvement. Hope Kansas gets some better representation.

8. That is correct.

Timmy got Club for Growth and Rove's money.

No, the other guy won't be any better but he will at least vote for the Farm Bill.

11. Excellent-- if he's from the tea party, extra good riddance nt

12. Free Republic is at each other's throats

Apparently the teahadist was a Cruz fan and a never Trumper but Boehner hated his guts and they can't stand old Drunky McBoner so right now they don't know whether to shit or go blind....

13. Was it to someone even worse as usual..

or was it to someone not quite to the right of Genghis Khan, in which case it really would be news!
